Adding a val to a var

[munro]

ok this is annoying me, I've been working on scripts for hours and cant get this one to work…

well its not that its a cant add to it. what i need to do is add a value to a variable without resetting the variable.

I've tried different lines of put and get var but none work. can someone help

var = int(var) + 1?

[munro]

sorry but that would work how with this statement?

Call SetPlayerHP(index, GetPlayerHP(index) + 5)                   
call SOMETHINGvar("\Scripts\skill\" & GetPlayerName(index) &".ini", "Prayer", "XP", SOMETHING)

something would be…well what i have no idea what to add

[dg1423]

well you'd use a getvar, store it in a variable. and use either var = int(var) + 1 then a putvar with var, or just have a putvar with (int(var) + 1) in it. if you wanna explain what you want the script to do, and post what you have, I'd be happy to help you.

a scripted spell that heals 5 hp and adds 5 xp each time casted to that specific .ini file, i can do the rest.

You'll have to use GetVar to get the same value. It seems redundant, but it's how it has to be done. Alternatively, if you don't like the way this looks, you can do something like this:

> Value = GetVar("\Scripts\skill\" & GetPlayerName(index) &".ini", "Prayer", "XP") + 5
> Call PutVar("\Scripts\skill\" & GetPlayerName(index) &".ini", "Prayer", "XP", Value)
